Tutankhamun, often referred to as King Tut, became pharaoh at around eight or nine years old and ruled during the 18th dynasty of ancient Egypt. His tomb, discovered in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter, contained an extraordinary wealth of artifacts, including the famous gold mask. Tutankhamun is known for restoring traditional polytheistic beliefs after his predecessor, Akhenaten, attempted to promote monotheism centered around the sun disk Aten. Despite his short reign and untimely death at about 18 or 19 years old, Tutankhamun remains one of the most recognized figures of ancient Egypt due to the treasures found in his tomb. The cause of his death is still debated among historians and scientists, with theories ranging from accidental injury to disease.

Egyptians believed that their pharaoh bore full responsibility for the kingdom's well-being, the sun to rise, the rivers to overflow, and the crops to grow. It was the pharaoh's duty to promote truth and justice. He was worshiped and appreciated.
Joseph II of Austria attempted a series of sweeping reforms aimed at modernizing the empire, including the abolition of serfdom, religious toleration, and the centralization of government authority. He sought to promote enlightenment ideals and improve the lives of his subjects, believing that these changes would strengthen the state. However, his reforms faced strong resistance from the nobility, the Catholic Church, and local populations, who were deeply attached to traditional customs and local autonomy.
